Cinven adopts ‘dual track’ approach for Spire exit

Spire Healthcare, created seven years ago following Cinven’s acquisition of a chain of hospitals owned by Bupa, is this week set to gauge appetite among prospective investors for a listing that could imply a potential valuation of almost £1.7bn for the UK private healthcare provider.

Meanwhile, Cinven is continuing discussions with suitors - including CVC and KKR, and a mystery foreign bidder - interested in buying Spire. Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley are advising the private equity firm.
